They are highway rated, but many of them only 55.
A real problem is a) the bearings don't get taken care of and b) people overload travel trailers something fierce.
How do you find out what speed a tire is rated for? Are there any 12" wheels that are rated for true freeway speeds (over 55mph)?
I was looking at 12" wheels (21 " overall, 1045# each). We are going to have the wheels partly recessed into the trailer so the trailer is not wider than our tow vehicle. We want to go with the smallest tire that is big enough to do the job safely. We plan on putting a lot of freeway miles on this thing. I am a safe driver, but if I drive 50 mph I will get run over!
